Thanks for the replies so far!
We're talking about 4U pro HP hardware. So no ATX power supplies I can replace, but 2 or 4 1200 Watt modular PSUs. So max power for sure is not a problem (total = ~2400 / 4800 Watt).
There are 2 x 8-pin GPU connectors on the PSU board (plus some proprietary plugs, info more than welcome). HPE provides certified cables that split to 2 x 6 + 2 x 8 pin, see HPE part https://partsurfer.hpe.com/ShowPhoto.aspx...667266-001. So this will mean 150 + 75 or even 150 + 150 per connector right? Since some years I'm running 4 single connector GPUs using the 2 GPU plugs. Rock solid. Officially they do not support > 3 GPUs but 4 works, that's for sure.
Opinions about using / quality splitters? And any figures about real-life hashcat power usage of the 1080 and 1080Ti? Or other options I didn't think of? Thanks!
